Hopefully you will get a chance to play test soon. That is the only real way to create rules for a good and balanced warband. The Greater Clan Member is an interesting way of adding a lot of variety to the warband. Of course the tricky thing is to make each option balanced against the other options and the entire warband. I look forward to hearing how your play testing goes.

Like RL noted playtest and provide some feedback as there are a lot of Skaven lovers out there.

Thank for the replies

I will try to get some playtesting soon, but dont got the playtime i used to, time and a 4,5 month old son does not go hand-in-hand to well

Like RL said the trouble will be to get the greather clan members balanced, but then again the plan with to warband is not to be powerfull like the normal warband, but to give players a chance to play a fluffy warband other then eshin.

Like I allready said I dont got to much time and would like some feedback before I start playtesting, but I take the no comments as good news personaly I dont think it is overpowered, and if it is a little weak that is not a problem for me
